Highlights of home minister Rajnath Singh's speech in Lok Sabha.

-- I thank all leaders for giving their views on intolerance.

-- Tolerance means accepting views or things without agreeing to them.

-- Tolerance is in our tradition and culture. Why is intolerance given more importance than tolerance? We are not tolerant under pressure, but we are tolerant by nature.

-- Allegations of intolerance is serious. Is India not fit to live?

-- If there is social tolerance anywhere in the world, its in India.

-- One of the people who returned their award had once said that a person like Modi is a source of anxiety and he is not fit to rule India. I want to say that they are not even respecting peoples mandate.

-- If any political party is victim of intolerance it is BJP. The biggest victim of intolerance has been PM Modi himself .

-- I want to assure the people of this country, if anyone will try to disturb the social harmony of this country, he will be punished.

-- There are people who think there is no freedom of speech in India.

-- A Muslim cleric last week said Lord Sri Ram was born in Pakistan. Still there was not reaction from majority. Can he says all this about Islamic God?

-- Intolerance has been displayed only thrice. Partition, during emergency and during 84 riots.
